4. Get Representation

There is so much more to hiring a buyer's agent than getting access to real estate and a chauffeur to show you around. While it is possible to buy a home without an agent, the experience often proves to be more challenging than many expect. We've listed our top 3 reasons below:

1. Representation: Unless you are buying a property that is for sale by owner, the seller has professional representation on their side. By negotiating directly with the sellers agent you are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage since their agent is legally bound to share everything you tell them in order to get the best deal for their client. You wouldn't go into a courtroom without a lawyer, so why risk the biggest purchase in your life in buying a home without representation.

2. Information: Most professionals will determine the value of a home by analyzing the prices at which similar homes recently sold in the same neighborhood. But what if there are no recent sales in that same neighborhood? Our group utilizes 5 different approaches to value so that you are able to make the most informed decision possible. This data is independently verified by our group of professionally trained researchers who are working on your behalf. Watch a quick video showing how the Seaport Real Estate Advantage can help you accomplish your goals.

3. Experience: Most brokerage firms will tell you that an “experienced Buyer's Agent is working for you and their primary job is to keep you from making a mistake.” Our agents utilize our research and proprietary databases to help you spot properties that are the most desirable, priced the best, and have sellers who have equity in their homes and can negotiate price. The knowledge our agents gain from working with so many clients throughout their career is invaluable when it comes to helping you pick the right house, on the right street, in the right neighborhood. This experience also comes into play when they are negotiating on your behalf as they often have intimate knowledge of the pros and cons of similar homes that recently sold. Once you are under contract to purchase a home, your buyer's agent will help you locate a great inspector, negotiate repairs with the seller, get estimates from trustworthy contractors and obtain financing from the most reputable lenders.

5. Best Buys ~ Understand Your Buying Options Like Never Before

Seaport Real Estate Group can provide you with the competitive advantage you have been looking for. When you become a client you will have access to powerful tools and resources only provided by our group.

Our exclusive tools provide useful information that keep our clients informed, save our clients time, money and help them find the property they are looking for at the best price possible.

6. Find Your New Home

Once you have been pre-qualified by a lender, narrowed down your home search and retained a buyer's agent, it is time to get in the car and go look at some homes. For most people, this is the fun part, and it should be. Buying a home is most important purchase most people make in their lifetime. Having an experienced professional in your corner will save you time, give you peace of mind and very likely save you a great deal of money.
